In my experience, boys are predictable. As soon as they think of something, they do it.

smarterthey plan ahead. They think about not getting caught. Eoin Colfer, Half-Moon Investigations I have a friend who's an artist and has sometimes taken a view which I don't agree with very well. He'll hold up a flower and say "look how beautiful it is," and I'll agree. Then he says "I as an artist can see how beautiful this is but you as a scientist take this all apart and it becomes a dull thing," and I think that he's kind of nutty. First of all, the beauty that he sees is available to other people and to me too, I believe. Although I may not be quite as refined aesthetically as he is ... I can appreciate the beauty of a flower. At the same time, I see much more about the flower than he sees. I could imagine the cells in there, the complicated actions inside, which also have a beauty. I mean it's not just beauty at this dimension, at one centimeter; there's also beauty at smaller dimensions, the inner structure, also the processes. The fact that the colors in the flower evolved in order to attract insects to pollinate it is interesting; it means that insects can see the color. It adds a question: does this aesthetic sense also exist in the lower forms? Why is it aesthetic? All kinds of interesting questions which the science knowledge only adds to the excitement, the mystery and the awe of a flower. It only adds. I don't understand how it subtracts. Richard P. Feynman. With more preparation and practice,it might be easy for anyone to defeat me but it is impossible to stop me sid shining object theory human being attractrs toward shining objects should be inherited from insects long which is long before evolution of mammals.-sid flowers are actually the reproductive part of the plant or simply put it like plant's vagina,,,hence giving a girl flowers means sex or on the other hand giving flower which is a living object might make her to feel in want of a baby that might leads you towards a relationship so be diplomatic while giving a flower---sid As a rule, the more bizarre a thing is the less mysterious it proves to be. It is your commonplace, featureless crimes which are really puzzling, just as a commonplace face is the most difficult to identify. Arthur Conan Doyle, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible. Oscar Wilde

Love is an endless mystery, because there is no reasonable cause that could explain it. Rabindranath Tagore Let me tell you, you either have chemistry or you don't, and you better have it, or it's like kissing some relative. But chemistry, listen to me, you got to be careful. Chemistry is like those perfume ads, the ones that look so interesting and mysterious but you dont even know at first what they're even selling. Or those menues without the prices. Mystery and intrigue are gonna cost you. Great looking might mean something ve-ry expensive, and I don't mean money. What I'm saying is, chemistry is a place to start, not an end point.

The criminal is the creative artist; the detective only the critic. G.K. Chesterton, The Blue Cross: A Father Browm Mystery The larger crimes are apt to be the simpler, for the bigger the crime, the more obvious, as a rule, is the motive. Arthur Conan Doyle

Dont judge a book by its cover R.L. Stine, Say Cheese and Die! No need to feel guilty if you can't be a good man all the time. But anytime your heart is feeling so eager to do even a small good deed, then it might be a good chance for you to be a better man. Toba Beta, Betelgeuse Incident Do you really believe in destiny?" "How can I not believe in destiny, when there is no difference between my memories and my dreams at night? There's no difference between their reality. And if I dream something first, I remember it later when I am actually walking in the place or looking at the person I first dreamed of. Days later. Or years later. Destiny~ she walks with me. C. JoyBell C. It often seems to me that's all detective work is, wiping out your false starts and beginning again." Yes, it is very true, that. And it is just what some people will not do. They conceive a certain theory, and everything has to fit into that theory. If one little fact will not fit it, they throw it aside. But it is always the facts that will not fit in that are significant. Agatha Christie, Death on the Nile Going for it and changing what you could change-that's what success was all about. Julie Garwood, Heartbreaker According to Madam Pomfrey, thoughts could leave deeper scars than almost anything else. J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Perhaps the greatest faculty our minds possess is the ability to cope with pain. Classic thinking teaches us of the four doors of the mind, which everyone moves through according to their need. First is the door of sleep. Sleep offers us a retreat from the world and all its pain. Sleep marks passing time, giving us distance from the things that have hurt us. When a person is wounded they will often fall unconscious. Similarly, someone who hears traumatic news will often swoon or faint. This is the mind's way of protecting itself from pain by stepping through the first door. Second is the door of forgetting. Some wounds are too deep to heal, or too deep to heal quickly. In addition, many memories are simply painful, and there is no healing to be done. The saying 'time heals all wounds' is false. Time heals most wounds. The rest are hidden behind this door. Third is the door of madness. There are times when the mind is dealt such a blow it hides itself in insanity. While this may not seem beneficial, it is. There are times when reality is nothing but pain, and to escape that pain the mind must leave reality behind. Last is the door of death. The final resort. Nothing can hurt us after we are dead, or so we have been

told. Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind The pendulum of the mind oscillates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong. C.G. Jung Sometimes I need what only you can provide: your absence. Ashleigh Brilliant A person who has not been completely alienated, who has remained sensitive and able to feel, who has not lost the sense of dignity, who is not yet "for sale", who can still suffer over the suffering of others, who has not acquired fully the having mode of existence - briefly, a person who has remained a person and not become a thing - cannot help feeling lonely, powerless, isolated in present-day society. He cannot help doubting himself and his own convictions, if not his sanity. He cannot help suffering, even though he can experience moments of joy and clarity that are absent in the life of his "normal" contemporaries. Not rarely will he suffer from neurosis that results from the situation of a sane man living in an insane society, rather than that of the more conventional neurosis of a sick man trying to adapt himself to a sick society. In the process of going further in his analysis, i.e. of growing to greater independence and productivity,his neurotic symptoms will cure themselves. Erich Fromm We forget very easily what gives us pain. Graham Greene, The Ministry of Fear: An Entertainment A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small parcel. John Ruskin CONCERNED BUT NOT CONSUMED! Ron Sanders Time is a terrible thing because it can erase both joys and pains. Gosho Aoyama When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw. Nelson Mandela While money can't buy happiness, it certainly lets you choose your own form of misery. Groucho Marx The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax. Albert Einstein Beauty is a whore, I like money better. Michael Cunningham, The Hours Making money isn't hard in itself... What's hard is to earn it doing something worth devoting one's life to. Carlos Ruiz Zafn, The Shadow of the Wind Too many people spend money they earned..to buy things they don't want..to impress people that they don't like. Will Rogers

Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants. Epictetus Money may not buy happiness, but I'd rather cry in a Jaguar than on a bus. Franoise Sagan Its a recession when your neighbor loses his job; its a depression when you lose your own. Harry S. Truman Everyday is a bank account, and time is our currency. No one is rich, no one is poor, we've got 24 hours each. Christopher Rice You'd be surprised what people will do for money that they wouldn't do for love. Rachel Caine, Bite Club America does not know the difference between money and sex. It treats sex like money because it treats sex as a medium of exchange, and it treats money like sex because it expects its money to get pregnant and reproduce. Peter Kreeft, How to Win the Culture War: A Christian Battle Plan for a Society in Crisis Don't compromise yourself - you're all you have. John Grisham, The Rainmaker Religion has convinced people that there's an invisible man ... living in the sky. Who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn't want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer, and suffer, and burn, and scream, until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you. He loves you and he needs money. George Carlin To you, I'm an atheist. To God, I'm the loyal opposition. Woody Allen Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are god. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are gods. Christopher Hitchens, The Portable Atheist: Essential Readings for the Nonbeliever Atheism is more than just the knowledge that gods do not exist, and that religion is either a mistake or a fraud. Atheism is an attitude, a frame of mind that looks at the world objectively, fearlessly, always trying to understand all things as a part of nature. NOT A BOOK Being a Humanist means trying to behave decently without expectation of rewards or punishment after you are dead. Kurt Vonnegut I'd take the awe of understanding over the awe of ignorance any day. Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt

Robert Anton Wilson, Cosmic Trigger: Die letzten Geheimnisse der Illuminaten oder An den Grenzen des erweiterten Bewusstseins Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich. Napoleon Bonaparte You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.
